Thank you for the kind words Todd!!!

Installed a set of vintage Gibson pickups in my 2017 Heritage H535 Custom this morning. In the bridge…a 1981 Gibson Shaw PAF 7.30. In the neck…an early 70s Gibson T-top PAF 7.15. I gotta say, I like the tone of these pickups in this guitar A LOT better than the last guitar I had them in. (IYV hollow body). I have tried a few different styles of pickups in this H535. It originally came with Duncan Seth’s, which sounded great. Then I had a set of 70s DiMarzios in it and those were great too…but definitely a different flavor. And now the ol’ Gibsons. So far, I’d have to say, the gibsons are more balanced and versatile of the 3 sets!

I’ll bet you a dollar to a donut hole that Guitar was probably a custom one off that was special ordered by someone that was very close with either Jim or Bill or Marv or REN

It’s a beautiful piece. For sure

ALL DONE!!! Playing and sounding great!!!

Eyeeee Laddie…. ON THE BENCH…..1998 Heritage H170 in Emerald Green!!! Rare color. The owner wants… New pickups New bridge New tailpiece Fret polish Fretboard conditioning Cleaning and detailing Poker chip added New pickup rings New strings and full setup Should be a fun Saturday project.

I have a set of chrome HRWS if anyone needs one

Oh no mister. I asked. Got told no.

I have a 12 inch radius block. But that fretboard was a 14 inch radius!!!! I couldn’t believe it!!!!!

You have me that tube, my friend!!!

I have not? I would be afraid to miss and hit my finger. LOL

The problem is high frets above the 12th fret. I went over it with a fret rocker. The 13th is high. The 15th is high. The 19th is high. The bridge has plenty of adjustability The neck angle is good. The question of the hour is….can I knock down those high frets and accomplish what I set out to do? I have filed, dressed, crowned and polished frets before. It really hurts my hands but I can do it. I think I’m gonna go for it. It’s a good Saturday project.

I was thinking about taking my Heritage H137 Custom to Sweetwater’s for a PLEK job. $300 plus shipping costs. I can’t get the action as low as I think it should be. So I checked the frets last night with a fret rocker I have several high frets above the 12th!! I have files, crowned, leveled and polished frets before. I’m no pro. Lol. I was just thinking PLEK because I was being lazy. But a couple hours out of my Saturday vs $350….its a no brainer. Well…wish me luck

That might look cool

That’s it!!! I couldn’t remember when I was recording. Lol

Picked this up yesterday This is a custom ordered, one off 2011 H137!!! I bought it from the original owner that custom ordered it from Marv and Jim and Vince. It’s a one piece Honduran Mahogany body and neck. The neck is a big 50s carve! Rosewood fretboard with pearl dots. Belly cut. Wrap tail bridge. Single humbucker. Grover tuners. And an old school Heritage case. This H137 was built by the original Heritage Crew. Marv, Bill, Jim, Ren and Vince. It’s in near mint condition. He didn’t play it very much. No fret wear. The neck sealed the deal for me. It is so rare to see a heritage from this era with a big 50s neck!!!! It feels great!! It weighs in at a skinny 7 lbs 6 ozs!! Plays and sounds great!! It has a killer rock tone!!!
